The Mystery Lost will Never Solve

Posted by Shannon Bennett Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Lost, Editorial,

All the valid and deliberately-schemed intricacies of Lost aside, I really need to know what the writers were thinking when they plugged the backstory to the Desmond/Penny photo in an episode last season.

According to Dessie’s flashback/time travel, he and Penny got photographed by a street vendor in the streets of London about four seconds before breaking up and parting for the next several years.  That means that there was one Polaroid-style photo, which Desmond then folded in half and pocketed (even though Penny paid).  He held onto this photo through a few years in the military, prison, on a sailboat, locked underground on a magic island, and lazing days away on the beach, where he often unfolds and stares at it.

Could Alicia Silverstone Be How I Met Your Mother’s Mystery Woman?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, CBS, Gossip, Rumors,

Based on some fine detective work, TV Guide is speculating that the ‘mother’ of CBS’ How I Met Your Mother may in fact be….Alicia Silverstone.

That educated guess is based the Clueless star’s several episode arc with ‘father’ Ted later this season.  (And it’s not like any love interest every sticks around for long on that show.)

If it isn’t Silverstone, let’s hope the writers introduce the mommy quick.  If CBS doesn’t renew the show (it’s not yet on the fall schedule), we may never find out.

The Mystery of Poe’s Grave

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rumors,

Each year for the past few decades, a mysterious, black-clad figure has paid homage to the grave of Edgar Allen Poe. The strange visitor carries three roses and a single bottle of cognac, placing these items on the grave of the writer who invented the horror writing genre. This mystery, at least, has been solved – though the ending is perhaps not as melodramatic as it might have been had Poe penned it himself. Nonagenarian Sam Porpora pulled off the stunt himself, all part of a promotional idea for his EAP tours. It all began in the 1960s, when Porpora became historian of the Westminster Presbyterian Church. Overgrown and neglected, Westminster needed new life…or perhaps, an old legend. Pictures were published in Life magazine, and fans started to make pilgrimages to the grave site to see the strange figure for themselves.  Though Porpora claims to have begun the mystery visits in the 1970s, some say a figure appeared at the grave two decades before. Is the mystery solved…or will it remain, like so many of Poe’s stories, legendary?

‘The Nine’ Sees It’s Ninth Life

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Renewals,

Back in November, I lamented the loss of a great show, The Nine. ABC put the series on hiatus right when the mysteries started kicking in.  What really happened inside the bank??  I had kept the Season Pass request in my Tivo hoping that someday it would pick up a new episode.  After a few months of waiting, I finally hit delete.

Needless to say, I was ecstatic to hear that ABC would air the remaining episodes starting this week.  Unfortunately the news is a bit bittersweet.  While I’m happy to get new pieces of the puzzle—knowing that six is all I will get is torturous.  I hate being teased…but I’m still a glutton for punishment.

Reset your Tivo for this Wednesday @ 10pm.
